Total Watts

  1. Price drop to £275. I found a box up in the loft so I'd be able to post this if required.
  2. As I've had a couple of queries, here are some potential (very specific) trade/PX options (cash either way): - Squier Matt Freeman Precision - Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision - White Blonde (original Made in China version) - Fender Vintera Telecaster Bass - white - Fender MIJ 51/55 P - would especially be interested in a pink paisley or blue flower one. If I think of anything else I'll add it to the list
  3. Funny, I've always found Fender flats to be very high tension and inflexible, and thought La Bellas were the opposite
  4. The part in bold is irrelevant, given that feel and sound are the two most important factors in buying an instrument. My OH thinks all my basses look the same, even though they're different shapes and colours.
  5. For a while it was just me and my JV Precision. It was a bit knackered when I got it so I'd restored it and it was definitely a keeper (famous last words). Soon enough though, I had ideas on a P build and once that was done, the JV was usurped by the new one and relegated to it's case. The bitsa was then overtaken by a new and shiny Telecaster Bass for a month or so, and then a Squier CV 50s Precision appeared at my door and now that's the only one that gets picked up, and it cost a fraction of the others. Three smashing basses, all sitting in gig bags under beds.
  6. Price drop to £275. Squier Classic Vibe 60s Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue with matching headstock. 2013 model, made in China with rosewood fingerboard (not Indian Laurel). I've only had this a week but I'm not gelling with it. It's in excellent condition for it's age, barely a mark on it. I've replaced the pickup covers, backplate, and knobs with Fender parchment ones as the originals had gone very yellow. I have a switch tip as well but it doesn't fit. It came with a trem arm but the threads on it are quite chewed so it's not really of any use. Restrung with D'Addario NYXL 10-46s.
  7. I've just realised I got the price completely wrong on these I paid £15 inc postage, so that's what I'm also asking
  8. I had a CV (rather than VM) Bass VI. I found the spacing much too narrow at the nut, but I switched the bridge to a Staytrem and didn't have any issues with the trem or intonation. I really liked the sound of it with La Bella flats on it, but I really struggled to get on with it.
  9. @ead my newly-acquired luggage scale says the weight is 4.23kg, or 9lb 5oz. 2 of my other basses are 4kg or under which probably explains why this one feels heavier (because it is), but I was surprised to find that my Telebass is heavier, even though it doesn't feel it to me. Maybe it's to do with the distribution of the weight as the Telebass has a smaller headstock and lighter tuners.
  10. I'll sort out some proper scales and get an accurate weight, but using my not-so-accurate measurements, it's about 5kg. To be honest, I never really thought much of it until I got a bass that's a good bit lighter, so in comparison it feels much heavier than what I'm used to.
  11. I found time to dig out the original neck plate with the JV serial. I had straightened it a while ago and it's actually much better than I remember. It could probably be a little straighter, but I Already had the replacement in place so I never swapped them back.
